Jose Mourinho has stated his intention to reclaim the Premier League title next season as he promises that Chelsea will be better but has warned that it won’t be easy.

The Portuguese manager was brought back to Stamford Bridge by Roman Abramovich last season to transform the Blues into a title winning machine once again, and Mourinho vowed to play quality football and nurture the young talent at the club.

Chelsea were not far off from being a Premier League winning side last season but the pressure will be on Mourinho, who spent much of last year writing his side off, so talk of little horses and needing milk won’t wash with the man upstairs this time around and Jose must start delivery on what he promised.

Mourinho said that he doesn’t know if his side will finish first or sixth next season considering the strength of the Premier League but realistically Manchester City will be the team to beat.

Liverpool may have another tilt but it’s hard to say how they’ll handle three games a week, Arsenal seem content to finish in the top four while Louis van Gaal will have Manchester United competitive but has much to do to turn them into contenders again.

Chelsea have already signed Cesc Fabregas this summer with Diego Costa expected to be announced in the coming days. They’ve also been linked with a host of talent around Europe from Toni Kroos to Paul Pogba to Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, which suggests the the owner is willing to flex Chelsea’s muscles in the transfer market once again.

There has been a lot of changes about Stamford Bridge already this summer and the shake-up is arguably long overdue so Mourinho has plenty to work on and should be much better equipped to win the major honours next season.
